Is there any indication on how much the deposit is for the book or is it full price up front?

Yes, please. I'll buy it. I still have a UK credit card I can charge it to.
I don't think the price is silly. This would take up at least four, and possibly five, individual volumes if it was reprinted as it has been in the past, or in a similar way to Dante, for example. If we assume those books would be about £8 to £12 each, then add something for the upgrade to hardback, we're already well past half of this £100 charge. If it's in a prestigious format, add a bit more.
I've talked a lot lately about how books are becoming fetishised among comics fans, especially people who read comics and other things digitally. Increasingly, we're happy to buy a beautiful book because it gives us pleasure to have it on the shelf, even if we own it in another form. Good examples would be Bryan Talbot's Grandville series, the Edgington/D'Israeli books like Kingdom of the Wicked, and the slipcase reprints of things like Sandman or Lost Girls. I don't think it's wrong to assume this Zenith book, although more expensive, would fit into that category.
Anyway, WAAAAAAANT.

You're not thinking of Will o'the Wisp, are you? Talking caterpillars, Kenneth Williams voice-over and a big fat tree fairy ring any bells? Sorry. A curvaceous tree fai... Actually, sod it. Fat tree fairy.
QuoteWas it Creepy Crawlies by any chance? I hated that, especially the theme tune.

How about sticking some Future Shocks on shop shelves! (if this has been done already then please ignore)
I can see the logic in rewarding subscribers but there's plenty of us 'non-subs' that would love to have these fine Tomes in their collections.
Cheers
